“The functional medicine model is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness. It requires a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and leverages that data to direct personalized treatment plans that lead to improved patient outcomes.

By addressing root cause, rather than symptoms, practitioners become oriented to identifying the complexity of disease. They may find one condition has many different causes and, likewise, one cause may result in many different conditions. As a result, functional medicine treatment targets the specific manifestations of disease in each individual.”

We leverage supplements for:

• Repleting nutrient deficiencies

• Balancing hormones

• Supporting detoxification

• Optimizing overall health

• Reducing inflammation

• Enhancing immune health

• Supporting mood and restoring sleep

Note, we only recommend supplements that are high quality, third party tested, and consistently produced and controlled according to good manufacturing practices (GMPs).
